Anyone know what these fish have???  there's a lot of questions so thought I'd try for what the lumps and sore are - the sore is on the red devil just in front of it's eye...............

Hi Mal - Sorry it has been a while since I have been on here...

 

That looks more like viral than bacterial to me (localised, slow growing and the fish act fine) - nothing can be done in general.

 

The sore in front of the eye could be related - (underlying tumour) 

 

It could all be exasperated by stresses due to the territoriality of these fish - either way, it is not that deadly and just increases slowly with age.... but generally not deadly on its own unless a tumour grows int he wrong place.
